Very good English language skills, diligence in the laboratory and the ability to work both independently and within a team are expected. Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: – Experience in wet chemistry and rock preparation would be an asset – Expertise in laboratory technique development – Demonstrated oral and written …

We are looking to appoint a Senior Research Fellow (Modelling) with post-doctoral or equivalent professional experience to join a multidisciplinary and international team for a project that aims to deliver web-based tools to support policy, management and other interventions to reduce risks of micronutrient deficiency in the global south. The MAPS project (Micronutrient Action Policy Support), a major investment by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), aims to develop an online tool to enable a range of stakeholders to …

The diagenesis or transformation of silicate minerals plays a major role in the regulation of the Earth´s carbon cycle and climate system. Chemical weathering and reverse weathering involving silicate minerals in terrestrial environments are likely the most important processes controlling the long-term CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and thereby, green house forcing. It is much less understood whether similar processes occur in marine environments and what is the scale at which such processes occur, locally and globally. The project will …

Research objectives Acid mine drainage (AMD): water/soil transfer. Objectives: Evaluation of AMD impact on the environment and effectiveness of current remediation processes. Under the supervision of Dr. Maria Isabel Prudêncio, Dr. João Carlos Waerenborgh and Dr. Rosa Marques, the PhD student will (i) perform the geochemical and mineralogical characterization of soils, sediments, acid water ponds and stream flows of the selected AMD systems; (ii) evaluate the seasonal behaviour (2 sampling campaigns per site) of REE in the water along the …

We invite applications for three graduate student positions to participate in a research project to evaluate the resilience of diversified crop rotations to extreme weather events such as intense precipitation and freeze-thaw cycles in Canadian agroecosystems. In this project, we propose to investigate two aspects of potentially improved resilience of diversified crop rotations using a soil lysimeter facility at the Elora Research Station in Ontario. Graduate student 1 will assess how soil water retention and/or recharge in diversified vs. non-diversified …

We seek a highly motivated person for a Statistical Modeller position specialising in Sea Level Rise. The focus of the Sea Level Rise position is to establish a new probabilistic model that can be used by stakeholders in Pacific Island Countries to assess sea-level-rise-related hazards. The primary objective of this project is to provide an evidence-based assessment of present and future sea level-related risks for the southwest Pacific region. The project will consist of a pilot study focusing on the …

Interested in delving into deep time to discover how our planet`s crust formed? We are seeking candidates for TWO fully-funded PhD student scholarships: one at the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Curtin University (Perth) and one at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Adelaide. The scholarship is funded as part of a prestigious Australian Research Council Discovery project that aims to develop the mineral apatite as a probe of crustal evolution. Applications are invited for the following topics: …

Ph.D. Title. Reactive transport of REE in natural porous media: experimental study and modeling Research objectives Context. Rare earth elements (REE) are crucial to a wide range of modern technologies. The high demand with respect to global REE production makes them technologically critical elements. Because of their extensive use and release to the environment, REE are also considered as emerging contaminants, whose negative effects on human and environmental health have been suggested. Because contaminants speciation largely affects their fate in …
